Mini navbar at bottom of thread

Version 1.0, 01/27/04 - Written for RC3

My users wanted a navbar at the bottom of each thread, so they don't have to scroll back to the top of a page to navigate the site. Rather than put the large navbar, with all of the buttons and the userinfo box included, I created a stripped-down version of it (see image below of what it looks like on my site).

Just follow the simple instructions in the attached text file. There is 1 file edit, 1 new template, and 1 template edit.

You may PM me or post here for support if something's gone wrong, but it is currently working on my site.

Nice.

I did this myself on vB2, and as soon as I upgrade I will "install" this.

Thanks!

I don't see any point in hacking this in since all you need to do is add the HTML directly to the SHOWTHREAD template.

Ah, you probably could. I'm certainly no expert in hacking, this is just how I did it. It makes my code nice and clean, and much easier to move around if I need it moved somewhere else.

Cool hack! I love it.

no offense but this is easily done by using the nav bar bits alrdy in the templates but cool hack though;)

I take no offense at all. I needed a way to do this, and this was the easiest way I found, and it works well. And now the lower navbit is in a separate template, so I can modify it extremely easily.

I'm sure there are different ways to accomplish the same thing. I'm just helping out those who need a way to do it and want to follow this example.

Thats a very good idea, but it would be better if this will be shown on the forumdisplay.php as well.

I'm actually having a problem. Its probably I did something retarded. I've been trying to do something like this for a while, and it keeps showing up incorrectly.

It will show the forum back link (javascript.history-1 business), then the board title, then nothing is in the next level. I hvae it placed in a templated called navbar2, and copied the code directly from the text file. Any clues?

TheEDIGuy

01-29-2004 12:45 PM

If you have a template named "navbar2", then you aren't following my instructions, and I can't be of much help.

CdaKnight

01-29-2004 02:33 PM

I assumed one empty, custom template was the same as any other...

However, I went back and made -another- template called navbar_bottom, and I still have the problem as stated above.

TheEDIGuy

PM me the contents of your navbar_bottom template, because there's something wrong with it.

Thanks so much. I put the HTML code directly into the showthread template and it works great. I've been wanting to do this for a long time! :classic:

where in the show threads template does it go?

this is the html right?

Quote:

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" width="100%">
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0">
<tr valign="bottom">
<td><a href="#" onclick="history.back(1)"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="$vbphrase[go_back]" border="0" /></a> </td>
<td><span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span> $navbits[breadcrumb]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt; padding-top:1px" colspan="2"><a href="$scriptpath"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_finallink.gif" alt="$vbphrase[reload_this_page]" border="0" /></a> <strong>$navbits[lastelement]</strong></td>

How can this be done in the templates. I tried but did not succeed. I'm kind of a novice on 3.0.

Awesome, this is EXACTLY what I was looking for. I prefer the template approach too. ;)

For just template mods,

In SHOWTHREAD and FORUMDISPLAY templates,

Find:

HTML Code:

$forumjump

ABOVE, ADD:

HTML Code:

<span class="navbar"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php?$session[sessionurl]">$vboptions[bbtitle]</a></span> $navbits[breadcrumb]

Just as good. ;)

In the FORUMHOME
I would like to move the "Navigation Bar" (including the log in boxes) from the top ---> to the bottom combined with "Whats Going On?"

I want it to be included in the "Whats Going On" on the top of "Currently Active Users"

How Can I do that? The navbar line is all the way at the bottom of the code, but I dont know how to include it with the "whats going on?" Any ideas?

Any ideas why this only shows up for me in IE and not Firefox? Anyone got this installed on their site that I can look at from FF, to see if its just my site?

edit: And yes, the normal one works fine...

I added this to my vbadvanced portal too.

portal index.php (whatever you've call it)

find

Code:

print_portal_output($home);

under add:

Code:

eval('$navbar_bottom = "' . fetch_template('navbar_bottom') . '";');

Done!

Excellent and simple hack...

:install:

This makes me wonder how easy it might be to have a 'New Posts' link below as well.. Could this be easily implemented into this same hack? As the admin, I pretty much read everything and scrolling up everytime to click new posts could be simplified with somethin like that.

For some reason this isn't working for me on 3.0.7. :(

The navbar_bottom shows up, but it only shows a link to the forum home, not the rest of the breadcrumb links.

Someone has done something similar in 3.5.1 already. It's here.
